George Samaras, better known as Plastic Flowers, is a Greek songwriter who has recorded three full-length studio albums, "Evergreen" in 2014, "Heavenly" in 2016 and "Absent Forever" in 2017.
George started recording music on a TASCAM Multi-track under the moniker Plastic Flowers and released a series of bedroom pop EP's that have been praised for their lo-fi aesthetics.
In 2014 his first album "Evergreen" was released through Inner Ear Records and Crash Symbols in Europe and the United States respectively. He later moved to London and recorded his second full-length album "Heavenly" in November 2015 and "Absent Forever" in 2017. He became the first Greek act ever to perform at South by Southwest and toured USA and Europe twice. Plastic Flowers have shared the stage with Bonobo, A.R.Kane, Emancipator and others. On his debut album he collaborated with Keep Shelly In Athens and NY-based folk artist Ed Askew.
As an undergraduate studying German at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki between 2009 and 2014, Samaras read modern and contemporary literature. In 2017 he started his research in Education at King's College London.
In 2012 Plastic Flowers sampled Theodoros Pangalos' famous parliament speech 'Mazi ta fagame' in Sinking Ship/Vanished Crew.
